Chronological reading list for high school

One of the great joys of teaching high school students is the wonderful literature you get to share with them. Teaching the lessons of books like Beowulf, Up From Slavery, and To Kill a Mockingbird is such a thrill. Meshing the literature and history together makes it an even richer experience. It is so much fun to see kids who thought To Kill a Mockingbird would be soooo boring, end up truly enjoying it. Here is a list of some of the favorites of my students. Enjoy!

about me

Hi, I'm Leslie, and I love to teach children and help other parents teach their own children. I knew when I was twelve that I wanted to be a teacher, and that I wanted to teach children who struggled learning to read. I think this was because I loved to read so much and wanted everyone to love it as much as I did (and still do!).
